Built on Stilts - The Vineyard’s own homegrown dance festival

Fri, Aug 9, 2013, 7:30pm
Union Chapel
Oak Bluffs

Free

What began in 1997 as a one-night concert featuring the work of seven dance choreographers has since ballooned into a week-long extravaganza reflecting the island’s remarkable artistic spirit. It now programs dance, theater, spoken-word, comedy, music and more conceived by over forty groups from near and far representing a broad array of styles by performers of all ages. The festival's all-inclusive philosophy has attracted an enormous range of choreographic sophistication and technical ability, defining Built on Stilts by its collective energy and creative output, as a home in which professional participants are free to experiment and fledgling performers can discover the joy of making dances.
